background:

Though he doesn't remember it, Simo was born into slavery. His birth mother died soon after and he was adopted by two other slaves, an awakened cheetah with the power of speech that acted as his mother, and an ogre that was his father. When he was still very young, the evil druid/sorcerer/ultimate magus that owned them was killed by a mysterious stranger who released all the slaves. His mother the cheetah, who was very slightly insane, became a prophet of a new religion based around the mysterious stranger. The main tenant of this religion was that the eradication of slavery was the primary goal of any thinking being. As far as Simo could remember his father the ogre never said a word, ever, but did exactly as he was told by Simo's mother.

All of Simo's young life was spent in various activities to free slaves and kill slavers. His father taught him to use a crossbow and fire from the shadows while he and his mother engaged in melee. Indoctrinated into his mother's religion, and being ever so slightly insane himself, he is a firm believer in the mysterious stranger. She also impressed upon him that any organized group is probably untrustworthy and wants to keep slaves and that anyone that attacks him would capture him and sell him into bondage if they could. He is more than slightly paranoid and usually believe he is either on the verge of being captured by slavers, or is working against a group that holds slaves.

Partially due to her origins, his mother also believed that magic was the source of all sentience, and thus that all magic items contain the potential for intelligence. He will often spend hours trying to commune with any magic items he has, and treats them as people, even if they exhibit no outward signs of intelligence. He also treats all animals as people, and both these ideas were firmly bound up in his mother's teachings.

When he was 14 his parents went on a scouting mission they told him would be too dangerous for him. They never returned, and since then he has been wandering on his own, never settling down for long, and doing his part to fight slavery and share his mother's teachings.

Aatu:
Aatu is a riding dog that Simo found abandoned as a puppy. A fairly typical example of the species, Simo has taught him to bear a rider, use ladders, track a scent, and point out anything he detects by scent that he can't also see. Simo considers Aatu his friend and will react very negatively to anyone who disrespects the dog. Aatu is peaceful and generally does not attack except to defend himself or Simo.

Aimo:
Aimo is Simo's handy haversack. Simo is convinced that if he spends enough time trying to awaken Aimo's mind he will eventually respond. Though he has had no luck yet, Simo treats Aimo as if he were a person.
